I have suffered from insomnia since childhood (I am now in my 30s), and it has been crippling to my life, to say the least. About a month ago, my husband and I decided to try turning off all breakers in our house at night, except for the one attached to the refrigerator. Since doing so, I have slept very well, even experiencing deep REM sleep. I have vivid dreams every night. My husband has experienced the same thing -- deep sleep, many dreams. It's worth a try if you have trouble sleeping. As I understand it, the EMFs interfere with hormones in the body. Some people are very sensitive to EMFs. I believe somebody else on this site suggested not using the computer or cell phone before bed, but my suggestion takes the idea a bit further.

I agree. Last year we started shutting the breaker off at night to save money on our electric bill. Not only did it decrease our bill by almost half, we found that we were sleeping much better at night. Try it for a week and see if you feel better. I bet you will.

I can't switch off the breaker (neighbors on the same breaker), but started sleeping with my head at the "foot" of the bed - i.e. away from the wall and therefore away from the electrical field running through the wires in the wall - and I've been sleeping much more peacefully since then. I also unplug everything (except the fridge) from the wall sockets before I go to sleep. Blissful peace that I remember from childhood when I used to sleep in the back yard.

Hi! I have been reading this website since last few days and I am hooked to it! I really am grateful to all the contributors who are giving their tips and helpful posts. Pardon my ignorance, but I have difficulty in understanding some abbreviations used here, EMF for eg.

What does EMF mean?

I'm sensitive to EMF's and I noticed that in certain areas where there's a lot of noise pollution there is a constant ringing sound. I don't sleep well with lights, noise, or tv on. Melatonin may help with the Insomnia too, it balances the body's reaction and you can handle all the artificial light from computers, tv, etc. And have a more natural sleep.

I have to agree with you on the EMF's. I found out the hard way. I worked at a Casino for 2 years, before we figured out why I was sick so much while on the casino floor. I still have Minor issues with EMF's. Limits my work options. After doing much research, I have discovered that EMF's don't effect you if you are able to convert to 12 volt system. I am currently designing a house I plan to build with 12 volts throughout the Living area. My Kitchen and Bath will be a sepearate building attached by a breezeway used for outdoor dining. I know there is at least one case of EMF sensitivity, where you can not even approach with a cell phone in your pocket or the man will pass out. I have slept better with limiting my exposure to 110 volt currents and giving up the cell phone. Hopefully my symptoms will not progress to the point I have to move to a remote mountain in solitude. ALSO, if you want to remember the dreams, write down everything you remember as soon as you wake up. This will allow you to remember more dreams over time. Good luck.
